"She's Lost Total Control"

"She's Lost Total Control"



So much for the days of glory
It's not like your idols died and are holy now
You cross the street and count to ten
And everyone that mattered went to bed
Or maybe they died

Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Bet you want it back
They all want it back, but you can't have it
You've lost total control

The sun, it lights the blades of grass
It's not like she knows the difference or cares
She's stupid and cold
Somewhere in the waves of doubt
It's not like she swam awhile, then faded out
So stupid and calm

Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
Do you want it back?
Welcome home
Miss So Unknown
They all want it back, when they want it all back
But you can't have it
You've lost control

"Shine Through The Dark"

"Shine Through The Dark"



One, two, three, four
Whatever happened to the old me
Whatever happened to us
Whatever it was it doesn’t matter now
Those days went speeding by
And left us in the dust
The car's on empty
It rattles and rusts

Whatever misses is permanent
A red wine stain or a scar
Like one of those if you flip the negative
Knew who I was, and even before
I even knew
Now just look who we are

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every blurry moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

You know that house I don't want to buy
I want to buy it for you
The walls are made out of the wishes I make
When I close my eyes
And I’m lying here with you

Whatever misses is everything
My feet are sore and blue
Everything I ever said I did before
Was just to get me here
Get me here next to you

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
These wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

Shining through the dark of the night

"Silver Bullets"

"Silver Bullets"



I can't find the gun
It's only getting worse
So I get loaded up
On silver bullets

And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay

So go draw yourself a bath
And find the kitchen drawer
Cause you can't make me smile
Anymore

And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
If you won't let me stay

So honey, go find the gun
I think it's in your purse
And get loaded up
With silver bullets

And I can't see the sun
I know it's gone away
And I can't be the one
You can't make me stay

"So Alive"

"So Alive"



Today I watched the boats
Moving through the harbor
Walking on water
In your arms I'd stay
Forever if I could
Forever if I may
Keeps me in your thoughts, don't disappear

I am on your side
And so alive
So alive it isn't real

If this is how I feel
Then nothing now is true
And nothing now can ever be taken away from you
Sinking in the past
The things that shouldn't last
Just put to bed and stand beside me
Stand beside me

Always on your side
I'm on your side
And so alive it isn't real

I am on your side
And so alive
And so alive
And so alive

I am on your side
I am on your side
I am on your side
And so alive
So alive

"Somehow, Someday"

"Somehow, Someday"



I want to tell you something
That I should've, long ago
I wish that you and I had those kids
Maybe bought us that home
I wish that we were stumbling fast
Down on Irving and 14th Street
I wish that we were still in your room
In your bed and you were holding me

'Cause there ain't no way I'll ever stop from lovin' you now
There ain't no way I'll ever stop from lovin' you now
No there ain't no way and I'm gonna try and show you somehow
Somehow, and I'm gonna someday

I dreamt that you and I were still young
Laughing like little kids
I'll never know just how bad it hurt
Or what I did
I wish that we were stumbling fast
Down on Irving and 6th
I wish we were still making plans
But now, there's nothing to fix

But there ain't no way I'll ever stop from lovin' you now
There ain't no way I'll ever stop from lovin' you now
No, there ain't no way and I'm gonna try and show you somehow
Somehow, and I'm gonna someday

Someday...Someday
Ah honey, someday

"Star Wars"

"Star Wars"



All I want, all I want, all I want is a girl
Someone that cares enough about me
That she refuses to react
When I act like I don't care about her

Ice-packs for my shiners
Though you're on my nerves
Someone smart enough to click me back together
?? simple and suede and still evadable

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

All I want, all I want, all I want is the chance
Someone with lasers and mirrors for eyes
Catching radio waves of Valium plants

That can dance to the music
And hover in the air
Someone that makes me feel at home whenever
Today, tomorrow, you get it forever

Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Is that too much to ask?
Well, I don't know

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Someone I love and who loves me
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
Yeah, that and maybe the world
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Someone that loves me the way of
Star Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars
Star Wars, Wizards and Ninja Wars

"Starlite Diner"

"Starlite Diner"



It's midnight, at the Starlite Diner

You said meet me at a quarter to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Wishing you were here in my arms,
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well

Is it possible to love someone too much
You bet
The drugs are in safe
And the clothes are on the couch, intertwined
But none of them are yours
And all of them are mine
So cry
Cry like a baby into an ocean of wishes
But it don't ever rain
On a street drenched with painted ladies
Fare thee well my old friends
Fare thee well

Have you ever slept it off to the bones
And woken up at night my love
Having dreamt you called them all
Every person you could never love

It's a blow out
On a birthday cake
And I'm a birthday candle
Floating on the lake

Where are you its getting late
Its midnight at the starlite diner
You said meet me at a corner to twelve
And I'm standing in the corner
Oh there you are

"Starting To Hurt"

"Starting To Hurt"



It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And the cops get in, and the crowd gets tight
Take your tomorrow, pain and your sorrow and teach it how to fly
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt
Starting to hurt

It's a long way down, but I feel alright
It's a long way down, but I feel alright
And I hope you're here, when I hit the ground
'Cause I'm high on forever, always together, and I'm coming down
It's starting to hurt
Starting to hurt

"Stay With Me"

"Stay With Me"



Love when you call my name
It sends me running into the flame
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me

Are you waiting, are you standing guard?
There's nothing they can steal from us
That isn't always yours
I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

Like the speed of sound, or the speed of light
When you say my name, it feels so right
In the middle of the night
When you call my name
Don't worry, it's okay

I love you baby, just treat me right
Hold me closer in the middle of the night
I love you girl, and it's alright
Stay with me, stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me

"Stop"

"Stop"



I know a sickness
So ancient and cross
No crucifix
Could ever fix enough
In the basement of a church
These people, they talk
There is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop

I know a place
Where the future is denied
I know a hand
That twitches inside
For some of us the glass
Is filled with lights
But if the honey
Makes you sick
Honey, there is a line
That must be walked
If you wanna make it stop
Then stop
Stop

Slow down
You don't have to talk
Lie down
Breathe
Stop
Slow down
It's not your fault
Look around
There's so many of us
So many of us
You are not alone
Ever
Ever
Ever

Stop

Call in the backup and the backup comes
Nobody can help you if you won't
Inside your chest your heart is just hurt
Behind your eyes a need replaced a want

I know a sickness so ancient and cross
A crucifix can never fix enough
I know a past when the future is lost
I know a line that must be walked

There is a darkness and there is a light
And there is a choice.
For a balance to be made every night
A weakness must be found
If you want it to stop
Stop
Stop
